Tokens and Chaser Tickets

Merchant Tokens and Chaser Tickets (formerly Validation Stamps) 

These products authorize discount pricing to merchants and business owners thereby allowing them the option to provide convenient free parking for their customers at a reduced cost.

Tokens may be used in all Downtown and University Hill meters. Chaser Tickets are accepted at the five City of Boulder garages. To participate in the Chaser Ticket program, businesses must be located within the Central Area General Improvement District (CAGID). For additional information on either of these products, please contact Parking & Access at 303-413-7300.

How to use Chaser Tickets when exiting the garages:

Only 1 Chaser Ticket may be used to exit. For example: (4) ½ Hr Validation Stamps = (1) 2 Hr Chaser Ticket

Upon exiting:

The express lane- first feed the gate ticket taken upon entry in to the slot. The amount due will be shown.  Next, feed the Chaser Ticket into the same slot. The Chaser Ticket value will either cover the transaction cost and lift the gate or indicate the balance remaining to be paid with a credit card. Feeding an additional Chaser Ticket will result in a “Discount Is Not Accepted” message. Only 1 Chaser Ticket may be used to exit.

A lane if a Booth Attendant is present- the same actions apply. Only 1 Chaser Ticket may be used to exit.

Please note:  Once a Chaser Ticket has been processed, it is no longer valid and cannot be reused or backed out of the system.
